Joanna and Sandy's House for an Art Lover wedding

Joanna and Sandy first met when they were neighbors in the same building. I had so much fun photographing their wedding at House for an Art Lover in Glasgow. The couple pulled together so many unique, handmade details to celebrate the occasion. The bride asked me to capture as many candids of the couple with their family and friends as I could and it was clear that every guest was having a wonderful time. The venue was designed by famed Glaswegian architect and designer, Remy Mackintosh. Conceived during the arts and crafts moment, the ceremony space had some incredible artistic detailing that gave the space tons of historic personality. I went with Joanna and Sandy to the verdant walled garden next door for their portraits. A beautiful wedding from start to finish.

Heather and Nick's Cowden Garden wedding

Heather and Nick’s intimate wedding at the Japanese Gardens at Cowden was simply stunning. This sweet and lovely couple were all about celebrating this special day with their closest friends and family in a gorgeous natural setting. One of the bridesmaids made Heather’s bride gown and the bridesmaids dresses. Several of the guests provided musical interludes and readings. While I went off on a wander with the bride and groom to capture their portraits after the ceremony, the guests were treated to a guided tour of the venue.

The garden itself is a true hidden gem in Scotland, not far from Stirling. On the same day we were there, a film crew from BBC’s Gardener’s World was filming a special segment about Cowden for the program. If you’re searching for a picturesque, peaceful space for your wedding, you can’t do better!

Greta and Seumas's Carberry Tower Wedding

Greta and Seumas hosted a super joyful and elegant wedding day at the gorgeous Carberry Tower in Musselburgh. Since Seumas is in the military, he was dressed in full military kilt and the couple incorporated a Guard of Honour exit from the church. I got to know these two at a pre-wedding photo session in St. Andrews. Like many others they had to rearrange plans due to the pandemic, so I was very happy to capture all the details of their special day.

Eleanor and Eoin's Dynamic Earth Wedding

Eleanor and Eoin are one of my 2020 clients whose bigger wedding plans were disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic. I had seen them at the end of February for their engagement session, just a few weeks before lockdown happened. To keep everyone safe, they’ve rescheduled their big party for next summer, but still wanted to get legally married this year. So on the date their big wedding would have been taking place, they had an elopement-style ceremony with an intimate gathering of close family members and friends at Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh. The day was completely lovely, with slices of cake and champagne, and a bride & groom portrait session in adjacent Holyrood Park. I’m looking forward to photographing their reception next year, but am so glad that I could be there this summer to capture their marriage.

Gemma and Garry's George Hotel Wedding

Gemma and Garry were such a lovely couple with whom to work and their Edinburgh city center wedding, taking place at the Intercontinental George Hotel, right in the heart of the city, was a classy affair and lots of fun to photograph. From the bagpiper announcing their entrance to the lucky six pence that Gemma put into her shoe for good luck to the charms Gemma tied around her bouquet featuring pictures of beloved relatives, their wedding was filled with personal touches that will stay in my mind for a long time. I wish them many happy years together as husband and wife.

Janine and Zack's Griffith Park engagement

Janine and Zack are having their wedding in Scotland this autumn, but they live in Los Angeles so the stars aligned when I was in town recently and we got to photograph their engagement session at the always-beautiful Griffith Park. It was a great chance to meet them before they travel to Scotland for their big day and I loved having a break from the cold Scottish winter to soak up some sunshine.
